Happy Friday everyone!

Welcome to another weekly round-up post from our growing community of bloggers, writers, vloggers, podcasters, and other fellow content creators. Each and every week we hand-pick five top posts from a pool of the highest voted user-submitted/created posts in the community and include them in this weekly round-up blog post, along with the newsletter for all of our e-mail subscribers.

Here are this week’s (Nov 3 – Nov 9, 2018) most valuable posts from the /t/BES content creators community:

1. Exclusive: Calculated Risks and Blogging
It doesn’t hurt us in any way to fail when trying most new things, especially in this day and age. There is not a single person on this planet that is NOT failing at something.

2. The Creator of ‘Dilbert’ Will Teach You a Shit Load
Scott Adams doesn’t pretend to know it all, and his unconventional approach to life can help you (and everyone else) simplify, become smarter, and make quicker decisions.

3. The Future of Content Marketing: It’s Not What You Think
It’s hard to drive awareness to your blog. Have you heard the saying, “content is king?” Of course you have, but creating more content won’t necessarily get you more search traffic.

4. Building Links with Great Content
The debate is over and the results are clear: the best way to improve domain authority is to generate large numbers of earned links from high-authority publishers. There is no shortcut.

5. The Sad Truth About Online Business (and Blogging)
There is a fine line between sharing authentic successes that inspire and sincerely teach people and hyping myself up for the sake of authority. I hereby admit I have crossed that line before.

That’s all folks! You can view all the rest of the community’s top submissions (9 more) here.

Tune in next Friday for another great weekend reading list that will make you a better and more informed blogger, writer, and/or content creator! If you have anything awesome to submit that others might enjoy, feel free to do so!

And don’t forget to help other fellow bloggers find this nifty resource by sharing it around! Thanks!
